Where There’s Smoke…..

Posted in Uncategorized by Flavor on November 11, 2018

I’m 200 miles away and yet that distinct smoke smell is everywhere I go. I’ve never been to Paradise, Ca but the last few days I’ve been struck by how many people know people who live up there. Or I should say “lived up there.” It’s just tragic that an entire town can get erased in less than a day.

If you look west from my house there’s 280 and the hills behind that. Everything is so dry. It could all go up today. I’ve always wondered why terrorists don’t target an area like this. Billions of dollars of residential real estate. What’s stopping them?

I lived in Old Shasta (which was devastated by the recent Carr fire) for almost 7 years back in the 1990s, working at Shasta, Keswick, Trinity and Iron Mountain Dams . . .

I knew quite a few people from these areas – Redding, Chico, Lewiston, and of course, Paradise. Totally shocked by what has happened, first in the Redding area with the Carr fire a few months ago and now this fire.

First off much appreciation to all those who served including guys who post/follow here.
My godson’s lil bro is married to a gal currently serving at Moffett. He called yesterday to tell me she will be on the field at tmw Niners game as part of color guard. Nice gal and family/friends get to take advantage of some field passes/seats.

And I’ll give the same warning I gave to a friend a week ago—don’t sleep on Cal, who walked into Coliseum and took down SC for first time in forever. Yes SC isn’t very good and Cal doesn’t have near offensive firepower and level of talent of Stanford but their D held Wazzu to season low 19 points a week ago and they are tough across the board.

Amen. Dave Wilcox’ kid is getting some D installed at Cal, and it’s returning dividends. If they just had a better QB, they might have beaten Wazzoo. Very encouraging season. They’ve got a shot at Stanfoo, for sure. Definitely need to avoid turnovers. I still hate the Big Game not being the last game of the season. After, Cal plays Colorado for the last game. Just dumb…

I’m guessing the competition isn’t the same. Also, why the fuck is that dude playing ball in Japan? Shouldn’t he be chilling out, banging hoes or whatever floats his boat in the off season? Man, if I had that dude’s bank account the last thing I’d do is the same thing I always do……

Yeah, I think I would also just take the off-season *off*… but maybe Japan is a nice change: easy competition, play good ball, and loads of current-day versions of geisha girls so he can also do some ‘chillin’ and whatever else *ahem* comes his way….

Who’s Rooster? I’ve been a 49er fanatic since Jim Harbaugh was screaming his ass off on the sidelines. Old school Niner fans have told me of the legendary day when Willie Brown called Elvis Grbac a disgrace to mankind.

Yeah, the curse of the ex-49er QBs that KC signed. DeBerg, Bono, Grbac, Smith, and that guy named Joe. Speaking of joe, you could even throw Steve Fuller in there. He was the guy Walsh got talked out of signing in favor of John Ralston’s guy, Joe. Then again, Fuller led Bill to Dwight.

Post of the Day!

Timmy is 34 now. And I want to say “only 34”. And he’s been pretty much done for awhile. I can’t really even imagine how that would feel, to be *done* before the age of 35. Because, you know, my career has just been one long upward trajectory with no end in sight…
